LATEST ISSUE July 2008 #98

In this issue, we feature talented squash player, Joelle King on cover. At nineteen, Joelle has the squash world in the palm of her hand with a world ranking that currently sits at 54, having moved up 7 places in June. This puts her statistically ahead of all former top NZ squash women players, including Susan Devoy and Leilani Rorani. The flipside, however, is Joelle and her solo mum Turia, struggle to be able to fund Joelle to play in the international tournaments that count. Gutsy, gritty and focussed Joelle will get there by her sheer determination, natural talent and hopefully some well deserved sponsorship.

We also take a look at why the H has to be put back in Whanganui in an article by Qantas Award winning journalist Rawiri Taonui, And then we transport our readers to the glitz of Hollywood where our resident columnist there � Sam Cruickshank aka HORIWOOD educates readers on the fascinating world of Celeb bloggers.

As always, 'Pakeha View' provides some insightful cultural dialogue to being an immigrant in New Zealand, with this month�s instalment compliments of Shouji from Shandong Province, Mainland China.

And there's a feisty conservationist kuia, who was instrumental in saving the west coast township of Marakopa from being swept away by the power of the almighty sea.
